responsibility and discipline. bill says while it was an option for me, i respected the decision of those who enrolled in rotc for their service-minded activities and learning. ilene says rotc teaches respect, service and history of america. thanks to everyone who responded. "fox & friends" is now. good morning to you. it's tuesday, june 3. i'm ainsley earhardt, i'm filling in for elisabeth this morning. men who served with army sergeant bowe bergdahl say he is no hero after fleeing his duties in afghanistan. and this morning we have brand-new evidence that he might have been helping the enemy. >> then voters heading to the polls in eight states today as primary battles heat up. will republicans gain the six states needed to win a majority in the senate? november? we're going to break down the races you need to know about on this primary tuesday. brian? >> imagine relaxing on the beach when this happens.

a plane comes within inches of hitting a guy. there you go. what was he thinking? i hate when a frisbee hits me, let alone a plane. mornings are better with friends. >> i'm brandy chastain, and i am better than brian. you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you brandy, chastain for that rousing welcome for a tuesday where we have ainsley earhardt filling in. >> good to be here. >> we have more details of what happened with bowe bergdahl and his big exchange with four of the worst of the worst taliban who were thought too dangerous to let out. they are out already in qatar. for those people who thought to themselves at least they're going to be under lock and key for a year, wrong. they're walking around, these guys having the time of their lives. >> the cover of the new york post today, these are the guys out in the open. they weren't released into

a prison. just out on the road. the evil has landed. they were given a heroes' welcome yesterday. >> their family members were there hugging them, haven't seen them in years. the whole community comes to rally around these guys. >> and reflect on the thousands they killed in the past and look back on the good old days. >> it's disgusting. in the meantime it looks as if the white house story is unraveling. remember there were the bergdahls in the rose garden talking about how bowe was going to finally come home. susan rice was on the talk shows again. she shouldn't show up because she doesn't do a good job. >> she doesn't think. she just repeats what people tell her. >> i think the white house said go out there and say bowe bergdahl serve with honor and distinction. we know now that that is not true. in 2010 the department of defense concluded that bowe walked away. they really didn't do much to retrieve him after an initial flurry. there was a gigantic

classified file built up on him. as colonel david hunt is about to tell us, not only was he regarded as somebody who walked away, but it looked as if he was a premeditated deserter. watch. >> bergdahl on june 30, 2009, crawled underneath the wire at his fire base with water, food, change of clothes, a knife and a cell phone. he called his unit the day after he deserted to tell them that he deserted. i have two guys who were in the briefing july 1, when the army, the fourth brigade airborne of the 25th infantry division first found out he was missing because he called them. i've since talked to two soldiers who were in his appellate -- in his platoon. we lost 14 soldiers killed searching for a deserter. he left his unit in combat.

it's not tkpwaoubl. -- not arguable. >> that is the highest number i heard is 14. we are looking at six different people that lost their lives trying to find out what this guy did and where he was. the defense department also tells james rosen that not only was he a deserter, not only somebody that knowingly left everything behind including a note to send his stuff back home but they also said he may have been collaborating with the enemy maybe, some say, to save his own life, or he actually was a believer in the taliban cause. and his last rant which was repeated in his e-mail which was repeated in "rolling stone" magazine shows he was flatout anti-american. >> he said i'm ashamed to be an american. we're hearing from our sources now that he's also having trouble speaking english, not even sure he knows how to speak english anymore. >> you wonder why, given

the fact that a couple of years ago they already discounted him as a deserter, why would the president of the united states embrace his family in the rose garden. well, apparently they were thinking that the release of bowe bergdahl would be like back in 1981 when all those american hostages came home from iran. they thought it would be a feel-good story like that. of course whoever the message makers were at the white house peeled back a couple of layers of the onion to figure out this bergdahl guy has a very problematic story. dick cheney, former vice president of the united states, says they really should have done some more checking, because the photo op at the white house not a good idea. >> i think they have in fact negotiated with terrorists, and i don't think they got a very good deal. i think the whole transaction represents really bad staff work. i'd be very, very careful before you run the president out to sort of claim victory at having

earned the release of somebody who in effect went awol apparently and left his post. if i were there, i would not have supported the transaction, and i would have been, i think, made the effort to make certain the president didn't get exposed in a way that ultimately could be very embarrassing. >> in that same interview he went on to say that he thinks those five are going to do it again. it's just a matter of time. >> those with sources tell fox news that in the executive branch that they're quite baffled by the white house decision to allow the president to stand alongside sergeant bergdahl's father who in the rose garden the past weekend has made some anti-american tweets and statements, one of which was i'm working to free all the gitmo prisoners. god will repay the death of every afghan child. really? i mean, he says he was growing his beard because his son was -- because his son was in captivity. your son's out now. if you really don't, no

longer want to look like a member of the taliban, you don't have to look like a member of the taliban. are you out of razors? >> apparently the father was tweeting to a taliban spokesperson the message about i'm trying to spring everybody from gitmo. that particular tweet has since been deleted. given the fact that so much energy -- and as we heard from colonel hunt, it sounds like maybe 14, maybe more americans lives were lost looking for this particular guy. what about the case of that marine sergeant tahmooressi down in mexico? why aren't we directing our efforts to springing him? the fox news state department producer, lucas thomlisson asked the state department representative about that. >> you went after that. you have a marine reservist in mexico, why can't you do a similar swap for him?

>> i understand the desire to make comparisons, but we wouldn't compare them. this was a marine who was taken while in combat, and you're talking about a situation of an individual who the mexican authorities are accusing of violating the law. >> i'm sure we have five cartel members or somebody in jail we could swap in exchange for this marine. >> thank you for your advice, lucas, but every situation is different. do you have another question? >> they got about a hundred thousand signatures. the white house does officially have to comment so we look forward to that being addressed. >> she's wrong. she said mr. bergdahl was taken in combat. that's not right. he was captured after he walked away. >> you heard susan rice. >> i heard that too. she should -- >> we go in to get him but there is this guy who served several tours in afghanistan, i believe, down in mexico and we're not going after him, not to help him? >> this is a guy whrofs in

the wrong lane -- who was in the wrong lane and wound up in mexico by accident. by the way, one of mr. bergdahl's platoon mates says because he willingly deserted, he now should be court-martialed. >> meanwhile nine minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert is poeufd to give us more. -- is poised to give us more. >> we've been telling you about this nationwide manhunt. that coming to an end. we have new video coming to "fox & friends" showing the dramatic moment a wanted fugitive is captured after three days on the run. take a look at this. >> put your hands -- >> 1025gracie field center. >> -- is in custody at this time. notify the f.b.i. >> police arrested ryan chamberlain under the golden gate bridge. the 42-year-old became the target of a nationwide manhunt after the f.b.i. raided his san francisco apartment and found a stockpile of explosives. earlier in the day he

posted this chilling note on facebook saying, quote, so much was broken from this past year and a half, i guess it was insurmountable and the time up. crews investigating that plane crash that killed seven people over the weekend in massachusetts have now recovered the black box that they were looking for. this is brand-new 911 calls from the moment after that crash the calls are released. >> all of a sudden i heard this huge, like huge boom. i look out my window, and the house across the street right behind it was [inaudible] it looked like the atomic bomb went off. >> well, the jet never left the ground. instead it veered off the runway. it hit a nearby antenna and then plowed through a fence before it burst into flames. everyone on board that plane, including the co-owner of the philadelphia inquirer, died. investigators are listening to the plane's cockpit recorders and checking

surveillance video to check out what went wrong. >> june kicking off with a bang with key primary contests in iowa and missouri. itjoni earn makes a bid for tom harkin's senate seat. endorsements by sarah palin and mitt romney helped lift her into the lead. in mississippi, the tea party challenger chris mcdaniel making a late push against seven time incumbent thad cochran. angelina jolie hanging it up? the mega star hinted she might be retiring from acting after her newest project hits the big screen. it is a movie about cleopatra. jolie telling the bbc says it is the one thing you put everything into and that's where you end it, that's where you finish. jolie previously claimed she wants to leave her focus on humanitarian work

and directing. and those are your headlines. >> thank you very much. i wonder if it's tough at their house when she has the number-one movie in america that just came out over the weekend and then his last movie was a bomb. >> wasn't one of the movies he directed positive? maybe you can call on that come december -- come dessert. >> i'm not feeling sorry for him. >> a dozen minutes after the top of the hour. more on our top story, one of his fellow soldiers was killed searching for sergeant bowe bergdahl in 2009. a specialist who served with him says he's outraged about bergdahl's release. he explains why from california next. >> imagine relaxing on the beach when this happens. a plane comes within inches of hitting a guy, and no one said look out. what was he thinking? ♪ ♪

retired army specialist matsamu was a medic on a 2009 mission to retrieve then we thought p.o.w. bowe bergdahl. >> a tragic outcome when a staff sergeant, curtis, was shot and killed while pursuing a target connected to bowe bergdahl's captors. matsumisu says he's outraged and joins us now. you said you didn't know him that well. you knew of him. bring us back to that day when word went out that he's gone. >> the whole battalion is separated. the word that comes out he's gone initially, you

don't really know what's happening. most of us are good friends with people in other companies, and you kind of hear what's being said in that he walked off and what not. going off of that, you're just -- you can't believe really what's happening, and it's hard to process that someone would even do that really. >> now given what we now know, in your estimation, bowe bergdahl, deserter? >> in my opinion, and again i'm speaking on myself, not the military or d.o.d. or anything else like that, but absolutely. absolutely. he's failed us. he failed his brothers. he failed his oath that he swore to uphold. and i do believe that he is a deserter, yes. >> how does that affect those who, you guys who went out to go get him any way; right? >> it's funny that you ask that.

you think about it, sometimes it's like why did we even bother. but it's a fair point to say that at the very least, regardless of reasons or circumstances surrounding capture that we did get him back and we did bring him home somehow. i think that speaks to people in the army knew kids joining, that no matter the circumstances, america will fight to bring them back. i think that is a positive. >> you were the medic for staff sergeant curt curtis who died looking for him, and you've been troubled about this incident ever since then. what about the bergdahl case bothers you the most? >> the thing about bergdahl that bothers me the most is not the fact that he's back in custody of the u.s. and being treated for his health and health concerns, but it is the initial, the initial reportings of him, you know, p.o.w., words like "hero" being thrown

around and just the vague, the vagueness of it all and the lack of awareness of the general public of what actually happened and the people who passed looking for him. >> what should happen to him, sam? >> in my opinion, if you asked me three days i go i would have said firing time. but i've had time to get a little less emotional and detach myself that way and i think he should be tried as a deserter and court-martialed. i would personally like to see him in leavenworth for the remainder of his days. i would like to see him give a formal apology to us, his unit and the families of those lost. >> can you imagine if it turns out he was actually collaborating all that time, that would even make it worse. let's see what happens. i know many are baffled that his family appeared with the president at the rose garden knowing all these controversial circumstances to his disappearance. specialist, thanks so much for joining us and thank

poland are having a joint press conference. we understand the first question the president is going to be asked is about bowe bergdahl. as soon as that question is asked, we will take you to warsaw live. that is in the next couple of minutes. >> if you think we know about it, you think the president must be prepared to answer it. let's talk about an option that many people take when it comes to high school and junior high school. it is an option to go into the rotc program, one, they could like the military, number two, they could get the discipline. number three, they could be eligible for scholarships. >> there is a new york city democrat who wants to remove the junior rotc program from new york city high schools because he says it, quote, contributes to a war machine. the question this morning is what happens to the disciplinism, what happens to the patriotism you learn in this program? and like you said, the opportunity for scholarships. >> there is the picture of the guy. he is a democrat by the name of daniel dromm. he said, quote, i have concerns about the way they go about recruitment. it contributes to a war

machine, and i have some problems with that. i really have a problem with them being there. it sends a message to kids about armed forces and their policies, what happens when they move forward with college? i tell you what. we've also got a quotation from a 16-year-old who attends queens francis lewis high school and says this: jrotc has nothing to do with the war. we are being trained to be the leaders of tomorrow. and he's absolutely right. in jrotc they teach leadership and public speaking. there are no military subjects like tactical maneuvers. they are not taught. so clearly the councilman doesn't nope what he's talking about. >> what if they do teach about the military, somebody else said. there are people that want to do that and actually are fascinated by the military, that grow up wanting to be war fighters and save the

country. >> scholarship opportunities. it is a great program. anyone who went to high school that was a part of this, they looked so nice in their uniforms, they are well-mannered, they were disciplined, they were wonderful individuals. >> they did. he would like to end the city support of the program. the city also pays the instructors as well. so he would like to turn it all off. what do you think about this nitwit? i editorialized. e-mail us at friends at fox news.com. >> ferrets are now legal in new york city. we like to do good news too. i put a deposit down on one. i can't pick it up yet? >> really? there are all sorts of ferret games you can play. >> i have a lay-away plan with a ferret. >> 24 minutes before the top of the hour. time for the headlines. there she is, heather. >> i've got a story not

right alongside the beach. the pilot says he didn't see the guy lying there. the plane did hit a wooden fence and that left minor damage. literally within inches of that guy. how frightening would that be. we'll tell but it again later in the day. from one close call to another, imagine being on a plane and hearing these words: does anyone know how to fly a plane. the airport captain said that is exactly what he heard over the speaker on a united flight back in december. the pilot of that plan suffered a heart attack 30,000 feet in the air so gongle who was vacationing with his family rushed to help. the first pilot never landed a that airport before, gongle talked her through it. >> a couple wins $50

for years about the problem with concussions. it is the latest problem the nfl has to deal with following last year's class action lawsuit. they thought they had a settlement and now it is back in the courts. this is like the strangest picture you've seen. this japanese pitcher tosses this at the batter. the umpire didn't know what to do. even though the pitch landed over the phraet, the batter got a laugh as well. for anyone who cares, it is actually called an ephus pitch. we now know what the mets are good at eating. cheese steaks. teams visiting the philadelphia phillies are given cheese steaks. while the mets took the offer as a challenge while in the city of brotherly love, they ate 103 cheese

a a fox news alert, president obama in warsaw, poland, the first stop in his four-day trip to europe. he has just been asked about bowe bergdahl. let's listen to the answer. >> -- the taliban prisoners could put americans at risk. could your willingness to go around that 30-day requirement signal an urgency to close guantanamo now? >> can you say whether the steps president obama outlined today to increase the u.s. military presence here in europe are announced to mitigate whatever threat you see coming from russia or do you want more from the united states? >> the united states has always had a pretty sacred

rule, and that is we don't leave our men or women in uniform behind. and that dates back to the early days of our revolution. we have consulted with congress for quite some time about the possibility that we might need to execute a prisoner exchange in order to recover sergeant bergdahl. we saw an opportunity. we were concerned about sergeant bergdahl's health. we had the cooperation of the qataris to execute an exchange, and we seized that opportunity. and the process was truncated because we wanted to make sure that we did

not miss that window. with respect to the circumstances of sergeant bergdahl's capture by the taliban, we obviously have not been interrogating sergeant bergdahl. he is recovering from five years of captivity with the taliban. he's having to undergo a whole battery of tests, and he is going to have to undergo a significant transition back into life. he has not even met with his family yet, which indicates, i think, the degree to which we take this transition process seriously; something that we learned from the seat new hampshire era -- from the seat new hampshire -- something we learned from the vietnam era. let me make a simple point. that is regardless of those circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an american soldier

back if he's held in captivity. period. we don't condition that. and that's what every mom and dad who sees a son or daughter sent over into the war theater should expect from not just their commander in chief, but the united states of america. in terms of potential threats, the release of the taliban who were being held in guantanamo was conditioned on the qataris keeping eyes on them and creating a structure in which we can monitor their activities. we will be keeping eyes on them. is there the possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? absolutely. that's been true of all those prisoners that were released from guantanamo.

there's a certain recidivism rate that takes place. i wouldn't be doing it if i thought that it was contrary to american national security. and we have confidence that we will be in a position to go after them if in fact they are engaging in activities that threaten our defenses. but this is what happens at the end of wars. that was true for george washington. that was true for abraham lincoln. that was true for f.d.r. that's been true of every combat situation, that at some point you make sure that you try to get your folks back. and that's the right thing to do. >> [inaudible] >> that's not something that we're discussing at this point because our main priority is to make sure that the transition that he's undergoing after five years of captivity is

successful. >> there you've got the president of the united states joint press availability with the president of poland. the first question we knew was going to be about bowe bergdahl, and it was. joining us live in the studio is our senior news analyst, judge andrew napolitano. what do you think about the president saying this is what happens at the end of wars, we get our people back. >> this is not a recognized government. this is a terrorist organization that has no legitimacy, no legal basis, no legal standing. it is the policy of the united states government since 9/11, actually before 9/11, never to negotiate with nonstate actors whose modus operandi is just to kill americans. there is a lot of legal issues here. the lesser legal issue is

the failure to inform congress. he signed into law a statute saying if i'm going to take anybody out of gitmo for any reason, i have to give congress 30 days notice so they can object or they can inquire. somebody is calling brian. >> it is not my cell. it is the computer. >> all right. the far more difficult one -- we were talking about this before the president came on -- is that we have a federal statute which makes it a felony to provide material assistance to a terrorist organization. material assistance defines very, very broadly. it could be money, map, professionals service, it could be any assets whatsoever, including human assets. so i have argued that by letting these people free and their natural and probable result of them being let free is that they will rejoin this terrorist organization. the president has done what his justice department has prosecuted people for,

successfully prosecuted people for: providing material assistance to a terrorist organization. >> a couple of issues. number one, he says he was never really for that 30 day window of informing congress before anyone would be released. having said that, he said i briefed people along the way who had a deal on the table. this was nothing new. >> the president took the position when he signed the law that he didn't like it and he might enforce it or not enforce it. that defies his oath because the presidential oath says the president shall faithfully, i emphasize the word faithfully because it is in the oath and constitution, enforce the federal laws. the reason the constitution put the word faithfully is to remind the president they have to enforce all the laws. >> let's talk about sergeant bergdahl. many of his fellow soldiers said he deserted and could be collaborating with terrorists and terrorist organizations. he said in a facebook post he's ashamed to be an american. should he face

court-martial? >> he certainly should face inquiry. the military has an absolute obligation to find out if he was deranged when he said this or if he really planned and plotted to leave. did he aimlessly walk away because he didn't know what he was doing? or did he intend n return? >> he mailed his stuff back. >> premeditated. >> very strong. the government will conduct an inquiry, almost like a civilian side, a grand jury investigation. >> do you think they will? >> i think they have to. i think they're doing it even as we speak. the scandal of him not being prosecuted would be too much for the government to bear. >> didn't they know any of that before? they're not listing him as a p.o.w. >> they had to know this, ainsley. this is really almost the worst conceivable poster boy for the president saying nobody will be left behind. >> what's interesting is the reason supposedly initially the president didn't notify congress 30 days ahead of time was because of the guy's health. okay, the health, we don't

know anything about it other than the president just said he's undergoing a battery of tests. but just now the president didn't bring up health. he said this is what happens at the end of war. look, he can't close out afghanistan with one guy left behind, so this was a political maneuver. >> absolutely. let me tell you where this health argument came from. it is almost inconceivable that the obama administration dispatched to a sunday morning talk show its most practiced and successful liar, susan rice. she is the one who said this guy served honorably and decently. >> why would she say that? >> i don't know why she would say it, brian. it is contrary to all evidence and nobody believed her. it lasted for a day and the president rejected that argument. >> even the state department. here's the thing and i don't know if this is a legal question. you're not exchanging this guy for a bag of cricket balls. you're exchanging him for five of the worst of the would have the, and everybody agrees that more than likely they will go

back to terror and be part of the brain trust of the taliban. >> that's why i say the president may very well have committed a federal crime by giving material assistance to a terrorist organization. he knows, ought to have known that that's what these guys will do. >> andy mccarthy, a friend of this program, has a new book out. it's "crimes and misdemeanors." >> in my view it is a valid argument people will start talking about. the last time the president was impeached it was a disaster and obviously over nonsense. this is far more serious. >> here is the thing, where is the president's political benefit? i don't see any democrat going i'm so proud of my president for getting a deserter back in exchange for five hardened criminals. >> it doesn't make sense from their point of view. democrats will begin to flee from the president. democrats already believe they're going to lose the senate and will lose even more seats in the house,

now will probably not want him to come into their districts and campaign. >> it might be because the president is doing this because of the reactions in the 80's when all those hostages were released. >> this is blowing up in his face. the only benefit to him is the v.a. scandal is off the front table. >> dick cheney says these five guys released from gitmo will attack again. you want to talk about health problems? what about 9/11 all the individuals that died, all the people facing health problems because they were down there. we're going to have major health problems if these five guys come back and attack. >> i have questioned the legal basis for gitmo but if you look at the background of the five of them, they are not foot soldiers. they are major manipulate tors and organizers of the military and intelligence arm of the taliban. this is an enormous shot in the arm not just emotionally for them -- we got five of their guys for one of theirs. this is a strategic, tactical boost to them.

the very thing that the government is prohibited from doing under federal law. >> what do you think about the suggestion that this is president obama's backdoor way of closing gitmo? i heard dana perino talk briefly last night. this is one way he could do it. >> this is where the mccarthy argument will come in because the statute he signed saying i will give them 30 days notice and as he signed it he said i don't like it and i might not enforce it was passed overwhelmingly by democrats as well as republicans. he basically will be thumbing his nose to the congress on a hot button issue. >> right. it's absolutely a mystery. judge, thanks so much. meanwhile, straight ahead in the next two hours, a horse bought for ten thousand bucks now worth millions. we'll go live to belmont where california chrome is working out. could he win the triple crown? we'll ask his trainer. ♪ ♪

of the united states. >> in terms of potential threats, the release of the taliban who were being held in guantanamo bay was conditioned on the qataris keeping eyes on them and creating a structure in which we can monitor their activities. we will be keeping eyes on them. is there the possibility of some of them trying to return to at this times that -- detrimental to us? absolutely. that's been true of all the prisoners released from guantanamo bay. there is a certain recidivism rate that takes place. i wouldn't be doing it if i thought that it was contrary to american national security. >> but he did it. it's certainly not going to reinforce it and i don't know if the qataris are known as the capitol of security. so far we've seen them rejoin their families without any shackles or constraints.

i don't see any ankle bracelet on. all i saw was happiness and elation. maybe a prewar meeting. >> lot of hugging going on. lots of family member there is to see their gitmo detainees, their loved ones for the first time in years. and they're just hugging freely, doesn't look like they're shackled, doesn't look like there is any security there at all. and apparently this area that they're living is a very nice area as well. >> absolutely. so they're going to keep eyes on them. what's interesting is according to the "new york times," bergdahl left a note after midnight on june 30, 2009. bowe bergdahl left a note in his tent. he said he was disillusioned with the army. he did not support the american mission in afghanistan and bergdahl wrote, i am leaving to start a new life. once he went missing, obviously, his fellow soldiers had to go looking for him. we had a former specialist who

joined us from san francisco about an hour ago. he was in the same unit as bergdahl. he describes the initial confusion and he also describes what should happen to bergdahl now. >> most of us are good friends with people in other companies and you kind of hear what's being said and that he walked off and whatnot. so going off of that, you can't believe really what's happening and it's hard to process that someone would even do that. if you had asked me three days ago, i would have said firing squad. but i've had some time to think about it, some time to get less emotional and detach myself that way and i think he should be tried as a deserter and court-martialed. i would personally like to see him in leavenworth for the remainder of his days. >> james rosen says he's got sources inside the intel community who say that bergdahl not only a deserter, but he was an active collaborator with the

enemy. >> also in that same article, a former medic says, quote, everything we did in those days was in advance of search for bergdahl. we were doing some type of mission and there was a reliable report he was somewhere, our orders were changed. we quit that mission and followed that report. knowing that he left on his own, his stuff behind only took his backpack and a butter knife with him, that -- >> he left a note, i'm leaving to start a new life. >> and then tweeting, i'm ashamed to be an american. the pentagon is releasing this information now. he was never a p.o.w. >> yeah. they never listed him as one. so what are you swapping him for with five terrorists now out and about? his dad was no prize possession either and isn't. some in the executive branch are wondering, who thought of giving the go sign for the father and mother to show up in the rose guarden and make that announcement yesterday? meanwhile, he makes in his arabic speaking message to his son, he basically places allah

at the end, nice touch. >> political observers now are suggesting that the white house really blew it by having them right there, given the fact that apparently they knew the intel community had a major classified file on him. they knew he walked away and knew he was a deserter and there is the president embracing the family. the family worked for five years to get their son back and we can all understand that. but dick cheney says at the end of the day when you look back at the optics of this, this is not helpful to the president. >> i think they have, in fact, negotiated with terrorists and i don't think they got a very good deal. i think the whole transaction represents really bad staff work. i'd be very, very careful before you run the president out to sort of claim victory at having earned the release of somebody who in effect went awol apparently and left his post. if i were there, i would not

have supported the transaction and i would have been -- i think made the effort made sure the president didn't get exposed in a way that ultimately could be very embarrassing. >> guess what? leon panetta when he was there as secretary of defense, a job that vice president cheney did have, he wasn't for that action. so when gates wasn't for it, panetta wasn't for it, i got the perfect guy for it. chug hagel who seemed beefedled that there would be any push back when he did those shows about bergdahl's recompletion when he made the release in the hangars yesterday to a bunch our troops, not a word, no cheers, no words would describe how they felt. >> and then some of the people that went out to find bergdahl when he left his post, we're hearing six of them, then we're hearing 14 were not sure of what that exact number is, but at least six people died looking for him when he left willingly, when he left voluntarily. then we've got these five gitmo individuals, no telling what they'll be able to do and be

able to plan. they could be planning another attack down the road. we have all these people who died fighting for our country. it's just not fair. it's not right. >> it's just a big mess. it does look as if some copingial committees are going to start some investigating. apparently no congressional committee so far has asked to see the classified documents that the government has on bowe bergdahl. but the chairman would be allowed if they simply ask. i got a feeling they're going to be asking today. >> there is a committee meeting today. >> next tuesday. >> here is heather nauert. >> we got a busy news day. let's get to it. fox news alert. delta flight making an emergency landing at jfk airport after blowing a tire during takeoff. you can see that flat tire right there. shreds of that tire damaging a wing flap and part of the fuselage. the plane was coming from columbus, ohio, and it had 47 people on board.

we just heard president of the united states say the five gitmo prisoners swapped for sergeant bergdahl could return to fight. so if that is the case, why did he do it if there was even an inkling they would be doing this. joining us is the former commander of all forces in eastern afghanistan and the kabul station chief who at one point had these prisoners in his

custody. you heard the president. what's the benefit by this type of unbalanced exchange? >> it's hard for me to believe there is any benefit. there is no benefit for this. this is a huge political victory for the taliban. >> a huge political victory for the taliban. as best demonstrated by the celebration video we saw as they returned to kata to be observed by the qataris who are known for their security. let's look at this video. you saw them in the beginning of the war. you know what these guys are like and the blood that's on their hands. what's your reaction to this embrace? >> look, clearly this is a propaganda video demonstrating the taliban's political victory over the united states. this is being broadcast across the middle east, al-jazeera is a big station, but all the stations it's being played on. they have a pretty sophisticated political machine, propaganda

machine. that's when this is. it's unfortunate that american policy makers, this administration, didn't understand fully the implications of what they were doing. i really don't think they understood how this would go. >> how could they not understand? did the c.i.a. read into this? has the d and i read into this? has anybody factord into this decision? >> i don't think anybody other than the white house would have been involved in making this decision. i don't believe anyone in the c.i.a. or in the national security apparatus outside the white house would have signed on to this. i mean, it's inconceivable to previous that anybody would. >> the president said they'll be watched by qatarys and we'll be having eyes on them. what's he talking about? >> i usually put eyes on my grandchildren when i go to washington, d.c. to visit my daughter. i don't know how they're going to watch them. the qataris have a small security service. they're not known for having an aggressive internal security apparatus. these guys will be at the pool. they'll be doing political

meetings and after one year, they're going to fly back to pakistan and senior members, executing war against america. >> what would you do right now if you're the incoming president of afghanistan, who is friendly to the west, as karzai goes out to pasture? what are we saying to him? >> he's a pretty sophisticated guy. he was a foreign minister of the northern alliance when we took power, so i had a lot of one on one dealings with him. either he or either guy who was in the campaign, an aide to david petraeus, both of them will be desperate to establish a strong relationship with the united states. both of them recognize the need for america to be there because we're both the supplier of military support to them and financial support. they are -- the afghan government collects enough money in taxes to give each of its citizens a six pack of coca-cola. it can't pave its roads or pay teachers. it can't pay for the army or police.

they are aid dependent on us. >> i want you to bring us inside some of these guys. mohammed navi who served as chief security for the taliban. another who served as the taliban deputy, minister of intelligence. who is he? >> wasik is the senior ranking intelligence officer in afghanistan right now. his boss was his father-in-law, was killed by an air strike. he's the ranking intelligence officer. he will play a major role in conducting attacks on us, in political dealings against us. look, these guys are major players and if someone had said this on television, this is his kitchen cabinet that's just given back to him. >> you're not kidding. here is the thing, they may be evil. they may be diabolical. they diminish the existence of women on this planet. but they actually know how to run a government. they have jobs and organization ability. this is the worst skill set we

could possibly have out of cuba. >> it's still really hard to believe that this was executed in this way. there had to have been another way. we had years of this, unless the administration sort of indicated to the taliban that the deal was -- weapon willing to do the deal. we should have found a way to buy him back secretly. we could have stolen him. they didn't make the effort that they could have over the year to execute this. i'm just horrified by the whole thing here. >> i'm concerned we're going to get up one day and find out khalid sheikh mohammed is now in bermuda. >> yeah. there is a precedent here that's been established that's not a good one. we're all going to have to work doubly hard to ensure the security of americans around the globe. >> when the president was a state senator, you guys were out there rounding these guys up, putting your lives on the line,

because it was 1995. it was really tough even to find food in russia at that point. i came home skinny and my wife said, oh, my word, how was it? i said man, it was rough. can't waiting to back. she's like what? are you crazy? i'm like no, it's an amazing place. >> in what way? >> it's difficult, you know. >> you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere. there is no television. it's 40 below zero and you got a chain saw. >> yeah. it's hard, it's difficult. you got to be thinking on your feet. it's this tough situation and these tough conditions where i don't know, just beckons some people back and i'm one of those guys. >> how do you balance that and family, especially being so far away? do you stay there for months at a time without your family? >> yeah. i'm typically there two to three months at a time and then back home for a month. for my family, this is always kind of been our thing. i worked over there before we had children. >> it might be good for a marriage, right? >> yeah. it hasn't been bad at all. i've always thought that that would be fun since watching the

waltons. didn't they used to have the same thing? >> yeah. >> bonds you together. >> it does. you have to rely on the man next to you or the job is not going to get done. >> what's the problem with the russians? do they have an attitude? do you have trouble bonding with the russian workers? >> i don't anymore. but when i first got there, yeah. there is always this bit of distrust. they have their way of doing things and they think that's pretty much the way it should be. so when you introduce new ideas and new characters and different people into the mix, they're very distrustful. >> let me ask you this: on a lot of the reality shows, for instance, when people are out on boats and stuff like that, there is always the peril of falling overboard or a giant lobster grabbing you or something. what's the peril here? >> the peril here really, i mean, we do some hand falling. >> what does that mean? >> we cut trees by hand with chain saws. no matter what, logging is one of the most dangerous professions there are, just

because of falling objects. we're out there in minus 40. >> did you ever find a mammoth? >> no. we're not digging deep enough. >> it is a dangerous profession. what's the worst thing you've seen? >> well, i've seen fatalities in the woods. one of our projects in russia earlier we had a death. russia, it's not a place where you can call a helicopter in, just dial 911 and call a helicopter in. we ended up putting the guy on a log truck and his -- his body on a log truck and sending him down to the camp because we don't have the kind of quick evacuation. >> siberian tigers? >> i've been in the area. never seen one except in captivity. >> "siberian cut" premiers tonight on discovery channel. congratulations. >> thanks. >> it will be great. >> he was excited to come inside where it's nice and room.

>> did he say join us? didn't mean that. >> come on over, yeah. >> we'll send maria. >> straight ahead, their son, one of the men who helped search for bowe bergdahl when he was captured by the taliban, bergdahl got out alive. their son did not. now those parents comparing the prisoner swap to benghazi. they're going to join us within the half hour. then it's an american dream come true. the horse that no one wanted now on the cusp of the triple crown. we're going to go live to belmont where california chrome is working out. today's trivia question of the day. born on this day in 1986, this tennis pro is currently the number one player in the world. who is he? be first and you'll ace the question. ♪

rider and joins us now from belmont racetrack in beautiful long island in new york. so willie, the challenge now to win belmont as opposed to the preakness and kentucky derby. what is the major challenge is for the layman who moderately follows horse racing? >> you know, this is a different surface, plus it's a much farther race. basically everybody wonders about can he get to the mile and a half? but in his pedigree, he's got three triple crown winners. so he's got the pedigree to go the distance. just the way he's been training, i don't think he'll have any problem getting a mile and a half. >> how are you feeling right now? what's going through your mind? >> you know, i'm starting to get nervous now that it's getting closer. pretty soon i'll start getting heartburn not to really watch te media and the news and stuff just so i won't get nervous.

it's hard not to watch it when everywhere you look, either i'm on there or he's on there. i'm dealing it pretty good, i think. >> sure. so you're the exercise rider for california chrome. explain -- we heard that the horse would not run here in new york unless it had the breathing patch on the shnoz of the horse. explain what that does because a lot of people heard about it and thought, well, that's interesting. what does it do? >> yeah. like in the humans, the ones that have the breathe rights. it opens the nasal passages so you can breathe better so you won't really stress yourself so much. when you're in a race this far, like even in horse racing, they tend -- the nostrils tend to flair up and it helps them. it's no medication to it or anything like that. >> does the horse go faster because of the bandage? >> no. he's just fast 'cause he's a good horse. it just helps him breathe

better. they just like the breathe rights that people use to help them stop snoring and stuff like that. he's always fast. >> willie, tell me about the exercise routine leading up to the race. what's tomorrow? what's the next day? what do you do friday? what do you do saturday? >> well, like today normal routine. two and a quarter miles. being this track is a mile and a half, jog him about a mile, then scalp him, turn and a half, which becomes two and a quarter miles. he'll do that either today, wednesday, thursday, friday. and then saturday morning we'll just jog once around to keep him limbered up, 'cause we're not changing any routine of what we've been doing. >> we've heard a lot about the owners that they bought this horse for not a lot of money, great story. already won the derby in the preakness. what are the owners, what's your relationship with them and any

fun stories you can tell us about them? >> yeah. perry, he's much quieter of the owners. but steve is the one that's always in the media and doing all the talking. he's quite a character. they're very nice people. when he on the derby, i was standing next to him and he gave me a big bear hug and kissed me flat on the lips and i was like, what is this about? then he puts me back down and i think, god, i hope nobody took pictures. and i saw six or seven cameras. they're both very nice people. they're very down-to-earth, which is great. like i've always said, horses don't know what they cost. his mom, his mom was 8,000. the stud was 2,000. he was a $10,000 horse. he's here now. >> if you don't mind, we'd like to give you 11,000 and we'll take him off your hands. >> yeah, right. >> let's hope there is a lot of

kissing this weekend at belmont because that would mean california chrome -- >> in the stands and in the winner's circle. >> particularly for willie 'cause that would mean his horse won. >> i hope everybody gets to make out with somebody. >> willie, we are definitely pulling for you. we wish you all the best. >> thank you. >> god speed and speed to that horse. >> unless of course you're betting on a different one. >> do you need a vacation? you can either go there for your vacation or you can let your job send you on one with a discount. cheryl casone, our beautiful cheryl casone, she just walked in. she let's us in on a little secret. plus more companies hiring next. first on this date in 1946, the first ever by kuehne was -- bikini was displayed. in 1965, astronaut ed white made the first u.s. space walk. and in 1984, cindy lauper had the number one song in america with "time after time." finally that matches.

that's hiring thousands of people, plus four more companies. >> we featured a lot of the hotel companies. they're always looking for good people. ihg i wanted to spotlight because this is a company that's really got some good paying jobs. always looking for the salaries for you. 787 openings. they own crown plaza, holiday inn, holiday inn express. they're across the country. 4700 hotels, 100 countries. so it's a global opportunity. but look, if you want to work and you could be a front desk manager, operations, things like that. the management positions, the salaries actually, decent. you can make 730 to 100,000 doing product management. so there is opportunities. it's not just front desk or being a maid. >> i think it would be a lot of fun. >> you do get a discount. friends and family discounts. i'm all about discounts. >> i think we all are. what's the next one? >> this is amway. the product company. they're hiring about 400 people for the year r and d sales and

good morning. today is tuesday, june 3. i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth this morning. just moments ago, the president said the five terrorists released from gitmo could kill again. but letting them go was worth it. really? we report. you decide. if we can get a soldier out of afghanistan, surely we can get a marine out of mexico. >> i understand the desire to make comparisons, but we wouldn't compare them. >> well, we would. so why is the white house willing to trade terrorists for bergdahl but do nothing for that marine who made a wrong turn? >> it's a nice day for a wedding. a wet wedding. it's the best video you will see

all day because you get to watch it and you're not in it. >> that dress. >> all those guys got to return those tuxes. down goes everyone. meanwhile, mornings are better with friends. watch this. >> it's time for "fox & friends" >> how does that guy always know it's time for "fox & friends"? >> he's a smart guy. >> ainsley is in for elisabeth who is taking the day off. great to have you. >> thanks. always great to be here with you. >> man, it has been busy this morning. an hour ago, the president of the united states was in a joint press availability with the president of poland. they were talking about nato things. however, fox news alert because the first question was regarding bowe bergdahl. the reporter asked our president, hey, those five terrorists released, there is a chance they could come back and kill people, right? the president said yes. listen. >> in terms of potential threats, the release of the

taliban who were being held in guantanamo bay was conditioned on the qataris keeping eyes on them and creating a structure in which we can monitor their activities. we will be keeping eyes on them. is there the possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? absolutely. that's been true of all the prisoners that were released from guantanamo bay. there is a certain recidivism rate that takes place. i wouldn't be doing it if i thought that it was contrary to american national security. >> that's unbelievable because someone told jay carney, because he did not think there was a risk of that happening. meanwhile, the intelligence community is investigating whether bergdahl, this according to james rosen yesterday -- this according to a senior official confirmed to fox news and james, that they're look at his conduct while in captivity in the final

stretch to see if testifies working for the -- if he was working for the other side when he was there and collaborating with them. they're thoroughly investigating what he did and circumstances to where he went. >> the president just talked about how we're going to be watching them. is that going to even be possible? gary burnten with the concerned veterans for america. he said this, if that's even going to be possible. this is what he said about this free prisoners watching them. >> i don't know how they're going to watch them. the qataris have a very small security service. they're not known for having an aggressive interim security apparatus. these guys will be at the pool. they'll be doing political meetings and after one year, they're going to fly back to pakistan and senior members, executing war against america. >> that's right. we should point out that gary knows these guys. he knows they're bad because he and his unit actually had a couple of the members in custody and tried to bring them to justice and they have since been

sprung. also remember it was on the sunday shows that susan rice said that mr. bergdahl had served with honor anddistinctios absolutely laughable because apparently the department of defense knew a couple of years ago that he walked off. in fact, there is a story in the "new york times" today that after midnight on june 30, 2009, he left -- mr. bergdahl left a note in his tent, said he was disillusioned with the army, didn't want to support the american mission in afghanistan, and was leaving to start a new life. so they knew he was a deserter at the time. apparently the intel community has a giant file on him. now obviously a number of people on capitol hill are going to say, we'd like to take a look at that file because we'd like to know what in his background made us think -- made you think, mr. president that, a swap with these five killers was good idea. >> the pentagon is looking into allegations that at least six people and as many as 14,

according to colonel hunt, lost their lives searching for him. they even have the names and ranks of all of them who they believe got killed trying to find him. one of those people that was on serving with him knew of him and was there when he seemingly deserted was former specialist samuel, who was with us earlier this morning and talked about bowe bergdahl that he knew about. >> most of us are good friends with people in other companies. you kind of hear what's being said and that they walked off and whatnot. going off of that, you can't believe really what's happening and it's hard to process that someone would even do that. if you had asked me three days ago, i would have said firing squad. but i've had some time to think about it, some time to get a little less emotional and kind of detach myself that way and i think he should be tried as a deserter and court court-martia.

i would like to see him in leavenworth. >> if he is a deserter, why this much behind getting him released? if he didn't want to be an american in the first place because he did put on facebook, he's ashamed to be an american, why are we releasing five prisoners, five detapeees at gitmo in exchange for him when we have a soldier when has fought for our country willingly, wantingly, and gone to afghanistan, served two tours of duty and he's stuck in a prison in mexico and we're not doing anything to get him out? >> well, yesterday our state department producer asked jen sati, the spokesperson, about the marine, given the fact we did so much and we bent over backwards to spring bergdahl. listen to this exchange. it's something. >> you mentioned because sergeant bergdahl is a member of the military you went after him. if you have a marine reservist in mexico, why can't you do a

similar swap for him? >> i understand the desire to make comparisons, but we wouldn't compare them. this was a marine who was taken while in combat and you're talking about a situation of an individual who mexican authorities are accusing of violating the law. >> i'm sure we have five cartel members or somebody in jail we could swap in exchange for this marine. >> thank you for your advice, lucas. but every situation is different. do you have another question? >> called a concern because he's an american who did nothing wrong and she should be not so dismisssive as that and she should also get straight what about bergdahl. it's just about 100% unanimous that he did not get lost in combat, was not captured. he left. >> for the official spokesperson for the state department, she referred to him as a marine. he was not a marine. he's in the army. she also said he was taken in combat. that's not right. they knew and the government knows that he walked off. he left a letter.

>> and he put six to 14 individuals' lives in danger doing so. >> so anyway, she's not very well informed. >> by the way, no easy day. the navy seal that was in on the bin laden raid and probably shot bin laden, he talks about hunting for bergdahl in those regions and was it dangerous? the way he writes about it, absolutely dangerous. read the book. >> i talked to a guy who was on 40 missions to find the guy. happy they found him, but does not think much of him. thinks he is a deserter. >> and the problem is we gave up five hardened criminals and terrorists to get him back. heather nauert has got more stories for us. >> we have political news to bring you this morning. today is a big day. key primary contest in iowa and mississippi today. in iowa, conservatives are rallies behind state senator, iraq war veteran joany ernst, making a bid for tom harkens' senate seat. endorsements by sarah palin

helped lift her into the lead. and in mississippi, tea party challengers chris mcdaniels is making a late push against seven-time incumbent cochran. today's winner will be favored in november in that solid red state. new video in that shows dramatic moments that an armed and dangerous fugitive is captured in california. look at this. >> put your hands in the air! >> suspect is in custody at this time. somebody notify the f.b.i. >> police arresting ryan chamberlain under the golden gate bridge. you can see that bridge in the background in some of these shots. there was a nations with wide manhunt for him. it was launched three days ago. this after the f.b.i. raided the 42-year-old's apartment in san francisco and found a stockpile of explosives. that family feud we've been telling you about over casey kasem getting uglier. a judge ruling the 82-year-old

in stable condition can go home to his wife if doctors okay it. this just a day after kasem's daughter took him away in an ambulance for a checkup. her stepmother got so angry that she threw meat at her. take a look at this. >> on the order of king david, i give to you to the dogs. >> boy, that story gets weirder and weirder. the two have been locked in a legal battle over the radio icon's care and visitation rights. the kids want to see their dad. french president will not go hungry this thursday night and that's because he's throwing two separate state dinners, one is for president obama and the other for russian president putin. he will then head to dinner with president obama first and then two hours later, he'll eat with putin. no word what's on the menu. those are your headlines.

a little complicated there. >> have them together at one -- oh, yeah, they don't speak. >> they speak for hours and every time after they speak, he just takes another piece of the ukraine. >> there you go. you heard the president say those five gitmo terrorists could return to fight. that news not setting well with the parents of one soldier who lost his life trying to find bowe bergdahl. they say the white house has been lying to them about their son's fate from the start and they're going to join us next from houston to tell their story. and look at this. imagine relaxing on the beach when this happens. a plane comes within inches of hitting that guy. what was that pilot thinking? ♪ ♪ so's his serve, and his mandarin [speaking mandarin] xieúxieú, hou chiú but like up to 90% of americans, jim falls short in

a fox news alert. the president saying just about an hour ago that the five gitmo terrorists he swapped for sergeant bowe bergdahl could return to fight. that news not setting well with the parents of lieutenant darren andrews who was killed in afghanistan in 2009 by an rpg while on a mission that his fellow soldiers claim was a search for bergdahl. joining us right now are the parents of lieutenant darren andrews. sonya and andy andrews who join us live from houston. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> our heart breaks for your son and we know that it is never easy to talk about what happened to him. but given the fact that in the last 48 hours or so, we discovered that it sounds like the government has been lying to you. initially they told you your son, darren, was killed

searching for a taliban commander. then you found out what? >> i found out through facebook of all ways that he was killed while they were on a mission looking for bergdahl. we had no idea about that 24 hours ago. >> sondra, was the government lying to you? >> they certainly weren't telling the truth. i'm sure part of the mission may have had an actual search involved, but evidently the focus was looking for bergdahl. >> yeah. i understand before your son was killed by the rpg, you had a conversation with him about mr. bergdahl who had gone missing and your son regard him as a deserter, didn't he? >> yes, he did. said he walked off. he wasn't captured in a battlefield or anything. he just walked off the base and left everything behind but a

compass and a bottle of water. >> so now you know that apparently the government told you something that was not true. a lie. i call it a lie. they told you a lie. do you feel like -- >> i think definitely a cover-up. >> why? >> why they covering it up? we were told by another soldier that was there that they were told not to talk about sergeant bergdahl because they didn't want to compromise bergdahl's situation with the taliban. >> of course, on the other hand of that, he had compromised their situation because the taliban knew they were searching for him. so they were prepared. >> yeah. what's interesting now we also know, andrew and sondra, that apparently some of the soldiers who were in your son's unit

after your son was killed and the other members of the military looking for bergdahl, they were asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement. so they could not talk about what happened to your son. >> that's what we were told. >> all right. so now he apparently, mr. bergdahl, is sitting in a hospital in germany and he's being treated for -- he's been in captivity for five years. what do you think should happen to mr. bergdahl? >> i think he should be tried as a deserter. >> sondra? >> i agree. i think he needs to be tried as a deserter and i think he needs to follow the process of -- there is different penalties for different types of desertion. he left his men during a war. so that is even more critical than just leaving your base.

>> yeah. >> because therefore, he left them without adequate men. he created a vulnerability there for them because they had to look for him. of course, the taliban knew that the americans would look for their men. >> it made it more dangerous. >> right. >> do you feel like your son didn't have to die? >> oh, yeah. >> yes. >> i definitely feel that way. >> i don't blame you. before you go, tell us a little bit about your son, darren. >> i'm a typical mother. he was a great son and he really was. he was such a caring child which carried through his adult life. he loved people. he enjoyed doing things for people. he was a doer. he was a very strong christian.

he had a strong belief and he shared that with his friends, with his acquaintances, and his soldiers shared with us when they visited that he shared god with them and he encouraged them to go to church and he encouraged them to communicate with their families and just a total good person. he had a lot of young men that he coached that respected him and used him as a role model. >> we got letters from those kids. >> i read a lot about your son and he was a good man. >> he was. >> andy and sondra andrews, we thank you very much. hard for me to talk about it. i'm sure it's hard for you to talk about it as well. >> yes, it is. >> thank you. >> tough story. right back.

art sherman joins us live this morning. good morning to you, art. >> good morning. >> how are you feeling? >> feeling great. it's nice to be back at belmont park. i haven't been here for quite a few years. it's great. the weather has been super. >> what's california chrome's experience with this distance as long as the belmont will be? >> mile and a half won't be a problem for him. he's run a mile and a quarter, a mile and three 16th. i think think the longer the distance, the better for him, to be honest with you. >> what's he doing right now? is he running the course every single day to lead up to this? what's his schedule? >> yes. he worked this weekend on saturday. he actually worked three quarters of a mile.

he walked the next day and he jogged monday. he went to the track today. looks great. he's put on some weight. i'm very satisfied. i hadn't seen him in about two weeks as my son, alan, had been taking care of him while i've been in california. >> wow. art, tell me about your story. one day you're ripping tickets. the next day you're in control with the most popular horse in the world. >> well, it's been a great run for me. i've been on the racetrack for a lot of years. this is the epitome of being a trainer, if you could ever win the triple crown, it's the best. but like i said, i already won san anita derby, kentucky derby the preakness. the horse doesn't have to be a superstar to anybody but myself. >> he is a superstar to everyone across the country. we're all going to be pulling for him. he has such a great story. rags to riches for sure.

the owners paid $10,000 for this horse and now he's worth millions of dollars. any superstitions that -- are you wearing like the same clothes you wore in the past? >> sure, i'm going to wear the same suit. in fact, i dropped it off at the hotel this morning to be cleaned and pressed. i'm not changing anything. that suit is three for three. i'm not changing anything. i'm superstitious that way. >> especially in your business. what about the story of lucky dollar bill? >> the lucky dollar bill is in my pocket. a lady sent it to me after the san anita derby. she says in a letter, here is a dollar bill. would you carry this for you so you can get lucky in the triple crown? and i thought wow. i'm going to keep this dollar. so i put it in my pocket and sure enough, we've won two legs of it. got one more to go. so that dollar bill is right there where i can feel it.

>> real quick, this is an obvious question. i know you like to lead from wire to wire. but if you had your truthers, where would you like to see your horse take the lead, the earliest and the latest? >> i would tell you that this mile and a half racetrack, you can't premature move on this track. you know. i was a former jockey. i know i rode at belmont park years ago. it's going to be a jockey race to win or lose. you just got to sit there and make sure you have enough for the last quarter of a mile. that's where the race will be won or lost. >> just be in a position to be able to take the lead in the last quarter mile. >> art sherman, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> best of luck. >> hope you make history this week. coming up, trained to be war machines? that's how one law maker describes the junior rotc. has been the lessons in leadership and discipline?

up at the top of the hour. >> good show this morning. there is so much breaking news on this bergdahl story. the president made comments about those five taliban who are now free. how do we keep them from doing americans more harm? that's one fundamental question this morning. also senator john mccain, six years of prisoner of war has a lot to say and we'll talk to him live. martha and i will see him in a couple of minutes at the top of the hour his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com. why do i use fast acting advil? because every season i face the combined power and speed of this: fast acting advil gets me back in the game fast. nothing works faster on tough pain. honestly, the off-season isn't i've got a lot to do.

national security advisor susan rice infamous for her sunday talk show statements on benghazi might have cemented that reputation with her latest sunday show comment on just released sergeant bergdahl with this. >> he served the united states

with honor and distinction and we'll have the opportunity eventually to learn what has transpired in the past years. but what's most important now is his health and well-being. >> peter johnson, jr. is here on the latest white house claims. this is a guy who many people are saying collaborating with terrorists. >> the testimony we're hearing and the military will make a decision once he's back whether he was awol or was a deserter. but can susan rice ever tell the truth on a sunday to the american people? it appears not. every thing we have indicates that perhaps he did not serve with honor and distinction and when we have steve doocy and you folks interviewing the parents of soldiers who have been lost in the pursuit for a man who may have intentionally left the base in afghanistan, we wonder what's happening? there is two narratives going on now at this point. the president feels that he now must wrap himself in the flag and say no american shall be left behind. but that's not our experience with this white house.

we have to look at the benghazi incident. let's look at the benghazi four, those brave americans who died and who were left for dead on that fateful day without any american support whatsoever. we have to look at the veteran marine languish noting in a prin in mexico. has he been left behind without any support whatsoever? so we have this we're not going to leave an american behind and at the same time, no, we will not negotiate with terrorists. well, we just negotiated with terrorists. we do regularly leave americans behind, and the best example of leaving americans behind is the administration's shameful, shameful and despicable treatment of the american veteran. this is one representation of the american veteran. this silhouette. this image. this symbol that we will now

show you. he represents, she represents all of the american veterans who have been left hyped for so long and it's been chronicled by congress and the v.a. itself. so to say that we're not going to leave americans behind, that we're going to negotiate with terrorist, we know this administration regularly violates both precepts. in this particular case, we have to wonder, how do they choose this particular event to come to jesus as it were, in terms of understanding the depth of our love for our soldiers and our veterans? and then to say that this soldier served with honor and distinction? if that's true, then we'll know that over time. but the evidence that's coming forward at this point says the opposite. and what have we lost and what have we gained? i think we understand in this country that sometimes the american interest is greater than any americans' interest. we also understand, and i think

unfortunately our troops are beginning to understand, that when a president stands in the rose garden on a saturday at the white house and stands with a person, the father of sergeant bergdahl who may have engaged in statements that are absolutely antithetcal to our interest as american, what does that mean? what signal does that send to our enemies. and more importantly, what signal does it send to our soldiers who are serving so loyally and faithfully? this is a disturbing day. they screwed this up. this is whacked out. tell the truth. tell the truth, susan rice, as to what happened. tell the truth. >> you're asking a lot of great questions and hopefully we'll find out some answers. >> i hope so. >> thank you so much. peter johnson, jr., always good to see you. >> good to see you. >> more "fox & friends" moments away artfully prepared. fancy feast elegant medleys. inspired dishes like primavera,

it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop.

seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.
